Server Discussion How to: Set up a linux server on ubuntu

No that error is because he's trying to run 64bit starbound on a 32bit host OS, or vice versa. I did that misstake too.

 

Makes sense, glad you figured it out!

 

Hey man!
I'm following your linux server guide since i've never used Linux and I accidentally purchased from a Linux only VPN company!
I was wondering if you could help me out a bit!
When I open my console I get this message: http://tinypic.com/r/29ylbiv/5

And the next thing is, after I download the files for the Linux SteamCMD, i transfer the whole folder into my server and after that all I need to do is follow the steps you mentioned on the post?
So right after I download SteamCMD and after the whole folder is already on my server all i need to do is execute the commands you've posted?
Or is there something else I need to do before I execute those commands ?

 

@Stanlee: His instructions include getting the right files into the right folder and executing them in the right order, just follow suit from step 1, looking at the terminal pic i got to say it looks like a plain installation error, try redownloading PuTTy(simple terminal client via SSH) and execute that, that worked for me with given tutorial

@sovredcat : I can not tell you how much i appreciate what you did here, it helped me out a great deal since it was my first linux expierience, just wanted to give you my warmest regards.

 

Thanks, I'll see if I can make it even more noob friendly. Admittedly I haven't spelled checked or followed my own tutorial to make sure everything is working - but it should!

 

First post has been updated to be even more noob friendly.

You are probably changing the wrong config file, see this: http://community.playstarbound.com/index.php?threads/password-port-not-working.42466/#post-1423098

 

I've been editing "starbound.config" inside /home/steam/starbound/linux64 and it works.

 

If you have problems starting the SteamCMD on a linux 64 bit because it says

Code:

./starbound_server: 1: ./starbound_server:ELF: not found

or similiar problems when runing ./starbound.sh

Code:

-FOR LINUX /UBUNTU-
apt-get install lib32gcc1

You should now be able to run SteamCMD

 

Thanks, very helpful.

 

I'm experiencing the same.. it's been running for 30 minutes and is now at 0.20%! The VPS is able to download up to 9MB/s from other servers, I was even able to test it while the steamcmd is running.. this is painfully slow. It seems to be literally running at 1-2 KB/s.

Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a solution?

 

Sometimes the steam servers can be under heavy load or the VPS just has a bad connection to the mirror you're downloading from.

 

I have the same issue every patch despite having a 100mbit line, but it will pick up after a while. It's just the Steam servers being under heavy load I guess.

 

Thanks for posting this btw

 

Hi all,
I have a VPS running on CentOS, and I'm having trouble downloading Starbound using SteamCMD
After login and set up install dir, I enter "app_update 211820", then this prints around 60 times:

App state (0x10102) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)

Then, the following errors:

Error! App '211820' state is 0x1 after update job.

How should I do? Please help.

 

I had to modify the directions to get it to work for me. I believe my error was a little different, but it may be the same issue.

force_install_dir ./starbound didn't work for me.
Instead:
force_install_dir /home/steam/starbound (or whatever is your full path)
